Hello from Tulsa, Oklahoma! Population roughly 150,000 residents. I love this town, and have always been frustrated with the way Microsoft rather botched the job with the scenery in the area. NO Arkansas River, a major element to the city, and city scape as far as the eye can see. None of the beautiful forested hills that are really here.
So, I have taken the liberty to fix what they have done, and hope anyone using this scenery will find it as enjoyable as I do. To all those from Tulsa, I hope you will recognize your home much more with my scenery. For those who are from abroad, may this give you a true glimpse of the great city of Tulsa Oklahoma! Take care!
INSTALLATION:
You will find complete installation instructions in each individual folder. Please note that you install the "Area Buildings and Structures" files last.
CHANGE LOG:
CITIES: Ive changed the landclass so now you will more easily be able to make out local communities. Included are : Sand Springs, Sapulpa, Mannford, Glenpool, Jenks, West Tulsa, Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Catoosa, Port of Catoosa, Owasso, Sperry, Barnsdall, and Bartlesville.
WATER: I have taken painstaking measures to render some bodies of water that Microsoft simply neglected to add. Now included are: Part of Keystone Lake, the Arkansas River, Sahoma Lake, Shell Creek Lake, Skiatook Lake, Waxoma Reservoir, Lynn Lane Reservoir, and Sand Springs Lake.
ROADS: Has anyone else noticed that Microsoft seems to have scribbled all over Tulsa with a grey crayon? Well thats what it looks like, and I have repaired it. After my ENTIRE weekend, Ivehand rendered all the roads in the region. Listed here: I-44, I-244, 75 HWY, 169 HWY, Broken Arrow Express Way, 71st Street, W. 21st Street, Avery Drive, HWY 412, Memorial Drive, W. 51st Street, W 41st Street, HWY 97, W. 129th Street, and several others, as there were so many.
BUILDINGS: Ive completely redone all of the buildings in downtown Tulsa, as well as added more out east and south of downtown. I redid the Cityplex Towers, added 2 hangars to Harvey Young airport, added the TTC campus at Jones Riverside, and completely built Bartlesville downtown and the hangars at Bartlesville Municipal. Also, I added bridges over the Arkansas River. Now, I apologize in advance for the bridges, as the program I use dosent allow for much detail, but they at least look like bridges, I think they look pretty good. I also built the Keystone Dam, the same way as the bridges, but it looks pretty good in my opinion.
ELEVATION MESH: The elevation mesh included was created by a man by the name of Robert Gainer. It is excellent mesh which covers all of Oklahoma, and it really brings out the hills around Tulsa. Special thanks to him.
ANTANNAE LIGHTS: I have also included my radio antanna lights. I have revamped them once again, and this time its final. They are now smaller, as to look more realistic.
Thanks to all who download, and I hope you enjoy it.
